Why Rapidgator ?

Decided to write a little story about rapidgator.

Zippyshare/Mega/MediFire/etc are good filehostings just for your one-time leech needs of small files (usually limited up to 100mb) because they delete files after 30 days of inactivity. Rapidgator (as well as UL.to and some others) keeps files for YEARS.

After some abuses from copyright-owners to Mega, Dropbox, Mediafire, Zippyshare they delete uploader's account and all uploaded files, unlike other filehostings.

But in this case I have to keep reuploading everything every couple of months for another 1-2 leechers that vanish asap they get what they missed.

It's perfectly possible to download from Rapidgator as free user - yes, it's slow, it has cooldown, but still possible.

All those nubbish "omg, I get virus warning" - it's just another filehost site (quite popular & reliable one w/o profit shit or smth), not warez or porn site, you don't have to download and run some executables, you just retrieve uploaded packed files with audio content there. Usually antivirus alerts you not about Rapidgator itself, but various advertising popup windows within it.

So get a bit of brains and add an exception rule in yer mighty anti-virus software or just uninstall it (it's pretty much of a virus by itself, slowing down and wtf doing/lurking in the netz in the background - just avoid truly unreliable sites).

According to online safety services - Rapidgator is safe for browsing, you can check it yourself:

Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page - This site is not currently listed as suspicious. No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. Check again

Trend Micro Site Safety Center - The latest tests indicate that this URL contains no malicious software and shows no signs of phishing Check again

What about torrents (or e-mule links) for scene packs? They are too large (>30GB). Only 2(!) premium generators support more than 500-800 MB parts, but Bandwidth limited to 5-10 GB per day. Today 0GB (servers is down, #[email protected][email protected]$).

premium genereator works bad. But I can't download large files on free rapidgator's account (direct(!) speed less than using TOR(!), disconnects on direct rapidgator's downloads are very often). Can you upload labels packs and scene packs on some other file sharings (mega, mediafire) or torrents?

Free download does with low speed not works fine for me. Site promise to download one file every 2 hours. But really 1-2-3 per day. Аfter such anti-advertising do not want to risk my money. Do you buy a program, the free version of which is buggy?

The downloads keep failing. And when they do there is nog way to restart. You have to wait and do it all over again and risk a fail at 700mb again. Speed and cooldown is something i can live with, but those fails are intollerable!

Torrenting carries risks. If you torrent copyrighted material, there’s a chance the authorities will catch and punish you. Governments and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) work to make life difficult for people who torrent media files and pirate software. Some ISPs, in the UK for instance, block access to some torrenting-related websites. It’s incredibly easy for ISPs and copyright holders to catch people who haven’t taken precautions sharing copyrighted material. Finding this information within any torrenting client software is easy. Copyright holders and ISPs therefore only need monitor the activity on popular files to be led straight to the IP addresses of those downloading the files or making them available to others. This is enough information to lead to the front door of the person with the internet connection involved. It is also often sufficient to kick off a legal challenge. Copyright trolls track down people downloading copyrighted material. Some work independently. Others have arrangements with copyright holders, who support their efforts to secure settlements with people who have downloaded their copyrighted material illegally.

Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work it takes maintaining this. You've helped me track down a bunch of shit that I'd lost or worn out over the years. How would I go about contributing stuff I have that isn't up there or is better quality etc? Pay it back etc Anyway thanks again. Absolute legends.
